in their campaign and they blame the ruling military council for wednesday's brutal attack on protesters up to twenty people were killed and more than one hundred injured by all known attackers sparking further clashes now that rally was supporting a disqualified all true conservative islamist candidate who was seen as one of the front runners before he was banned various political forces accuse the ruling military of trading the bloodshed sara first looks into the chaos religious tensions have created in post-revolutionary. taking phone in middle east and. this is the leading comic actor and a man and his film the leader is just one of a number in which he stirs that if learned as an imprisoned offending islam it's a ruling that's in reaching the public but this thread. was that was the guy saying case of i got really mad about this like that because i don't

know if. this was i think it's bad i don't think the rest of the country and everywhere else was there freedom of expression and. such convictions accosting a cloud a very artistic plans actions which the great in the good of the arab media industry a quick to condemn after being banned for years and in the barracks hardline parties like the muslim brotherhood and the newly created new party have gained serious political clout having won the lion's share of seats in parliament i'm thinking as the people here in egypt. has hope who to believe. is will that new egypt look like the greeks like hell no it means in praising much strict muslim curried we have no problem with. islamic system so

we have our culture out of this our culture of complaint and out of a club and. we believe in egypt so. i think that system of laws has to come from this culture and this culture means islamic. law many of these pushing for implementing shari'a law in egypt let me publicly that it could still be a long way off but there are already signs that change is taking place a lot of people who are currently governmental candidates for president are being very cautious about the statements that they make with the growth of policy everyone is preaching moderate islamists but the same time there's certainly an undercurrent like for instance we're going to change the curriculum slightly we're not going to make schools but we're going to preach religion better at schools no matter how subtle the differences may be at the moment egypt's eric cheek restraint in letting it each and the results of what happens right now keep the ferals for

generations serious third party kyrie. the military council condemned wednesday's attacks in a news conference in reaffirm his willingness to step down after the presidential election but political activist ahmed now good believes the latest violence is actually the general's latest attempt to destabilize egypt with moves that have roots back in the revolution. they've been definitely there since day one of the revolution but this is what the military council kept calling or referring to the third party the party have been part of the militias the national democratic party and the state security apparatus past twenty years those are all of them have very intense criminal records and they've been used instead. of. militias all the army itself so they're doing the dirty work for the military council they've tried already that in november and december during the parliamentary elections but it failed be trying to drive muslim brotherhoods into the areas where

they can be. and say that the muslim brotherhood is a violent violent group but they failed to do that now they're trying to do this sign things and every single time it turned against they've obviously not learned the lessons of the following mubarak's steps exactly and that's why they've managed to unify everyone again all the liberals and the brotherhood and these everyone is in the same trench right now against the military council. well the other side of the mediterranean meantime spain is gearing up for its own austerity fuel protests thousands of police lining basle over the streets of expected mass demos there is european central bank crossing side of your future even a close the report coming up. also triggered tremors even poisoned water supplies but british leaders insist they will plow on nonetheless with a controversial method to extract on the ground gas despite the cost to residents

look at these pictures from america. america's chief diplomat is urging china to help rein in tensions over iran and north korea's nuclear activities hillary clinton is in beijing right now and said both the u.s. and china should work together to restrain pyongyang from further provocation and to prevent iran from developing a nuclear weapon clinton's visit comes an extremely delicate time in their relations to beijing's accusing the u.s. of meddling in it seemed turn of affairs after the u.s. embassy briefly sheltered a chinese dissident activist it also is irritated over washington's military build major pacific something that chinese experts say is distracting from the job. the u.s. strategy is really trying to encircle china from ordering from japan to. india

three quarters so the u.s. is calling china an expression in south china sea there you have a military exercise somewhere for. these two smaller countries here to challenge china's so here strategy is to. give enough backing to neighboring countries to keep china occupied so a dead child there would not have tired to deal with other geopolitical feelings. joe nice bit to set up his own institute in china to study social and economic developments there he first sees a new kind of cold war on the horizon now we've got a full interview coming out with him in twenty five minutes but here's a quick taste. we've heard a lot of talk about multiple polar world but last century it was over the u.s. this to be very simple minded about it this is the u.s.

and china that bipolar world is going to be dominated by a bipolar connection of china and the us and people will make countries will make decisions and calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the u.s. and or china the there will be a bipolar world replace in. us but on a very different basis so no dollar war no i guess a cold war but sort of a cold war but with the soviet union on a largely a logical basis with china on the economic. russia was it could launch a preemptive strike against the nato led defense shield plan for europe if divisions between them over the project reach a critical point the country's military chiefs have been voicing their concerns that an international conference on missile defense here in moscow as

a tease in this and now explains. well missile defense has been in a deadlock for some time now but certainly no secret between the u.s. russia and nato and once again russian officials today reiterated the sentiment that bad deadlock needs to end or else russia is going to take response of action we heard the phrase preemptive strike this is pretty harsh rhetoric we're hearing from russia they're very serious about their their concerns their national security concerns being taken into consideration by nato and the u.s. we also heard from officials that if some kind of compromise isn't made that they're warning of in fact another arms race so very strong words coming from russia what they're hoping to come out of this two day summit is first of all to prove that these so-called rogue states like iran and south korea which the u.s. and nato say this missile defense system which is well underway in eastern europe in poland romania even as far as turkey that russia has research and is giving

basically officials details on why they believe those two countries certainly don't have the missile capabilities to reach europe so a lot of questions surrounding the goals behind this defense system so close to russia's border and also showing a computer model of why exactly this missile system poses a threat to russia's national security indeed how this is something moscow has been trying to convince the two of us through dialogue for years now washington continues to stress that the system is not against russia like i said that it's against iran and north korea but russell just isn't convinced that let's not forget that hot mike that we heard in south korea where obama told medvedev hang in there i'll be ready to compromise after the election of course it's an election year and a lot of countries across the globe in twenty twelve and officials certainly understand that so what we're going to hear most likely as this two day summit wraps up is baby steps we're ready for dialogue but how far both sides are willing

to comp. it's still very unclear that is the big question will talk more on the russia and america dialogue about missile defenses the paris based political analyst john laughlin joining us now from paris john hi there nato says the missile shield poses no threat to russia because moscow's intercontinental ballistic missiles are quote too fast and too sophisticated for this planned system to intercept it's not convincing moscow though is it does it convince you. it doesn't convince me no and i find it pretty rich actually that the american should be saying this about their missile systems when they refuse to listen to the iranians who say that their civil civilian nuclear program is no threat whatsoever to anybody threats are a matter of perception but also a reality and the fact is that as far as we know iran has no nucular.

weapons capability and doesn't plan one while the americans are planning a missile shield which although it may not they may be telling the truth when they say it it's not directed against russia the fact is it's a new weapon system and it can be presumably directed against or at russia in a matter of seconds so no it does its thing comment earlier on from a french defense official saying that iran's nuclear program poses a quote risk rather than a threat to europe security what does it mean by that it is there a point therefore of adding the shield is just a risk well i don't really know what the official means and in any case i don't personally. share that analysis i don't think that iran is going into an attack a european country still less the united states of america that seems to me to be an absolute fantasy it's not like you and in any case well my part of my answer is that one of the reasons why i think that it won't do that. is that the cost in

terms of retaliation of such an attack were it to happen are obviously immense so iran would have to be mad to launch such an attack and that's why i find the whole discussion about the missile shield to be really and methodical attack completely fantastic russia has been trying to talk reason here for a long time now for the latest words today though certainly ramping up the rhetoric if you like russia saying it could make a preemptive strike if quote very importantly the situation worse and worse and reaches a critical point what is that critical point well the critical point would be if there was some kind of conflict looming between the united states and russia and if there were some prospect of the missiles being fired at europe all across europe to america we're obviously a very long way away from that at least i hope we are the reason why the russian.

minister made this remark where the russian defense official made this remark is to show the logical conclusion of what the americans are doing the americans are planning to install a new military hardware x. on the continent of europe a constant which has struggled now for twenty years to read it self of the inheritance of the cold war and the logical military implication of that act is that at some point a strike might have to be contemplated will those words from russia today make any difference to think the u.s. will take russia's ultimatum seriously given a course that any preemptive strike would be far away i guess the american soil. well the fact that it's far away from american soil doesn't really make any difference because it's an american system and the americans are trying to obviously extend their influence either through a lot of directly or through nato over the whole of the european continent and there are other consequences well so the fact that any such attack wouldn't

actually at america is that you know. no consequence at all with the americans be bothered by the ultimatum and i think they should be as i say i don't think we are looking at ability conflict at any time soon but i think they have to understand that this missile defense system is very serious they may say it doesn't affect russia or isn't intended against russia but like any weapon system frankly like a knife it can be it depends on who is holding it and i'm going to so consider it a moment really really briefly if at the moment anyway the u.s. still won't give legal guarantees that this shield won't breach russia's national security what is the way forward do you think that to break this defense stalemate . the way forward is either thought the americans to integrate russia into the unified command of the defense system of the missile shield or to book about a new computer game or ever so grateful for your thoughts paris based political analyst john locke in there thank you. you've had online to
